Re: What's so special about C and D Mint gold?
I collect Dahlonega Gold. Special? Yes. For me it’s just a neighborhood thing I guess. Dahlonega is one of my favorite playgrounds.

When a dealer walks the bourse, do other dealers just show coins within his expertise, or all coins?

Re: Today April 9, 1865,,,,General Lee and General Grant Sit Down.
Why limit this to coins? Here is a political medal from the 1868 presidential campaign that highlighted one of the great concessions that Grant made to the defeated Rebels at Appomattox.

Re: Any good books about collecting gold coins?
If you're interested in the southern mints (Charlotte, Dahlonega and New Orleans), then Doug Winter's your man!

Re: Why no Jefferson Davis Dollar?
<< <i>You say the war had nothing to do with slavery, that it was all states rights and tariffs >> You are correct. Slavery had a great deal to do with the war. The war was caused by sectional differences and tensions--and it was slavery that brought many of these about. Slavery was *part* of the reason for the war, but… -
